General pest control
Silverfish control
Silverfish like dark, humid spaces and feed on paper, glue, fabric and stored items. They are often living in the roof void and wardrobes long before anyone notices them.
Where they live
Roof voids
Warm, dark and undisturbed, which suits silverfish well.
Wardrobes and linen cupboards
Clothing, linen and the backs of shelves.
Bookshelves and stored paper
Books, documents, photos, cardboard boxes and wallpaper.
Bathrooms and laundries
Anywhere humidity stays high.
Signs of silverfish
Damage to paper and fabric
Small irregular holes, notches along edges, or surface grazing.
Yellowish stains
Marks on paper, fabric and stored items.
Tiny scales or droppings
Fine silvery scales or pepper-like specks where they feed.
Seeing them
Fast, silvery, carrot-shaped insects that dart away from light.
Help keep them away
Reduce humidity
Use exhaust fans and ventilate bathrooms, laundries and wardrobes.
Store items in sealed containers
Plastic tubs rather than cardboard for papers, photos and clothing.
Declutter storage areas
Less paper and cardboard means less for them to feed on.
